Hypena vetustalis

Hypena vetustalis
George West, Live Oak County, Texas, USA
November 9, 2015
This moth matches several of the images on the BOLD site for the species* but not the single individual pictured on MPG. I have long series of images of both H. scabra and H. minualis and this moth matches none in either of those series. In size, I recall it being somewhat intermediate in size between those two taxa. It was photographed at the window of a convenience store.

* For example, on the BOLD website, search the Public Data Portal for any of the following records: CNCLEP 94269, CNCLEP 92313, ChamLep-0156. The first two of these are specimens from FL, the third one is from Jalisco, Mexico.
